#SugarFreeSuger FAIL

This was me, yesterday afternoon. Loving my new cardie but hating on myself. I knew better than this. But I did it anyway. We had a lot to eat yesterday, mostly I was fine, pretty much on track. Doing well considering that we have been eating out/with friends all weekend. I’d had too much white bread. And too much wine, but mostly ok. 
I was already planning a detox type strictness today. I was going to reset again. Stop all these little slips here and there becoming a big thing. I was settled in my decision. Clear. Ready. 
Sadly, with this in mind I decided it would be fine to eat not one but TWO Krispy Kreme doughnuts. I mean, come ooooon. What did I think was going to happen. I ate them. I laughed with Hubby as we drove and ate them. There was no guilt {surprisingly}. Only a wondering why I was eating it considering the first, with jam, made my tongue tingle it was so sweet.
An hour or so later we were home and it was starting to set in. the headache I forgot to expect. My body fighting against the thing it didn’t want. Rejecting and refusing it and punishing me in the mean time. Then the remorse sat in. For two instead of one. For one instead of none. For the headache to end all headaches. 
And can I tell you, this morning I wanted sweet. Eggs on toast with decaf coffee no longer felt like the best breakfast ever {as it does most days!}. I wanted cereal with milk and berries. I wanted coffee milkier and sweeter than it comes. I wanted another doughnut. 
Tricky, tricky sugar. You won this round but you will not win the war. 
Day 1 Sugar Free, Again.

  1. I was very down over the weekend and ate 1/2 a block of Rolo chocolate yesterday, and felt so sick by the end of it. The other half I was feeding to Miss 5 so I didn't eat it all (way to go, Mumma!) She stopped first and gave me her last bits. I felt sick.So yep, we've all been there.And now I am in pain because I made myself push that little bit extra at the gym today and typing hurts. Sitting with a straight back hurts. But I feel better. As I worked out I could feel how strong my body has become and how all my muscles were working. I even did an extra plank when I got home :)

  2. Meh the important thing? You ackowledged this deviation from the sugarfree path, dealt with it and are now committed to being back on the path again! Deviations are fine, as long as that's all they are :-)Xx

  3. You slipped, you learnt. Now move on because guilt will only make you want to eat more bad things! Think about why you decided to eat those doughnuts (and not just because they are Krisy Kreme and they are awesome, lol) but why you REALLY ate them. As a treat for being so good? Because you were feeling a bit down? Because you'd gone a bit off target so just a bit more wouldn't hurt? Identify what made you weak so next time you can be stronger.And well done you, for admitting you slipped. Now you own IT, IT doesn't own you :-)

  4. I'm on Day 1 today as well. I've experimented with quitting sugar a few times, but only ever go for a week or so before sugar creeps back into my diet.How funny is it how your tastebuds adjust when you quit sugar and all of a sudden food tastes a million times sweeter and the body just can't cope with the sugar overdose. I used to be able to comfortably demolish 3 whole blocks of Cadbury per week. Now I can barely eat more than a row without feeling awful.Don't beat yourself up about slipping. Sometimes a little slip up is the best thing to force us back on track. I know my ice cream overload on Saturday was the final straw. I can't deal with the mood swings and irritability anymore!Here's to a healthier us! xxx

  5. The trick is starting again. It's where I fail. My slips turn into downward spirals and giving up.I honestly belive you're stronger than I am and that you're going to do this. xxxx

  7. Don't be hard on yourself, we all make mistakes. Just start over.I'm headachy too, but not because I ate sugary things. My headache is because I've cut down. I've had very little sugar today, only one cup of coffee, and one tiny "furry friends" chocolate bar. I'll feel better tomorrow.

  8. Going sugar free must be tough. Congrats for being strong :)

  9. So easy to slip especially when there is so much sugar around us.. Just think of the health benefits :) doughnuts wont give you those!

  10. sugar can be evil. i need to address my cravings and so i am off to buy sarah's e-book. i can feel the headache already. i also need to lose some weight. i had been good but i too ate a doughnut a while back and never stopped. i get down on myself wondering where my willpower has gone. it can be so depressing. anyway, here's to fructose free baking. xo.
